- To recline: Locate the lever on the left side of the seat. Flip this lever upwards to unlock the recline function. Lean back to recline.
- To lock tilt: Flip the left lever downwards to lock the chair in an upright position.

6. Care and Maintenance
Proper care will extend the life and appearance of your La-Z-Boy Sonata Executive Office Chair.
- Cleaning Bonded Leather: The bonded leather upholstery is designed to be easy to care for. Wipe spills immediately with a clean, dry cloth. For general cleaning, use a soft, damp cloth with mild soap and water. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the material.
- Frame and Base: Wipe the metal frame and base with a soft, damp cloth. Dry thoroughly to prevent water spots.
- Casters: Periodically check casters for hair or debris that may impede smooth rolling. Clean as needed.
- Fasteners: Regularly check all screws and bolts to ensure they remain tight. Re-tighten any loose fasteners to maintain stability and safety.
- Avoid Direct Sunlight: Prolonged exposure to direct sunlight can cause the bonded leather to fade or crack. Position the chair away from direct sunlight when possible.
